Great series idea, and a perfect way to start it, with Hubley's groundbreaking short, animated in part by none other than the creator of Betty Boop (and lead animator of Disney's Snow White), Grim Natwick.

The voice of Thurl Ravenscroft is just the icing on the cake. And is it just me or does Johnny look like a relative of Dan Backslide from Chuck Jones' equally ahead-of-its-time The Dover Boys of Pimento U?

According to VoiceChasers, the female voices were by Annette Warren, and as far as they know this is her only cartoon credit. She also dubbed Ava Gardner's singing voice in Show Boat, and Lucille Ball's in Sorrowful Jones and Fancy Pants.
